them by the Irish. BIT they would hold
the fort in Ireland. [CheersJ On the day
on which the Crimes Act should become a
law they would either have 10 give
up the struggle that had been weged for
centuries, and lie down as slaves, or render
the system impossible of duration. They
would follow the manlier course. The

hate across the Irish sea, but the people
would pull it down and erect bridge Of
love between the toilers of Ireland and the
honest workers of England. [Cheers.1
